 Symmetra® PX

Right-sized, modular, scalable, 3-phase power protection with industry-

leading efficiency, availability, and performance for small data centers or
high density power zones

The APC Symmetra PX 48KW is a world-

class, high-efficiency, all-in-one power

protection system designed to cost-effectively

provide redundancy and high levels of

availability. With a single-rack footprint, the

Symmetra PX All-in-One UPS provides up to

48kW of power protection for 400V

deployments, as well as hot-scalable power

distribution and hot-swappable long-life

batteries.

Seamlessly integrating into today's state-of­

the-art data center designs, the Symmetra PX

48kW is a true modular system. Made up of

hot-swappable modules - power, intelligence,

battery, bypass, and distribution, this

architecture can scale power and runtime in

increments of 16kW up to 48kW as demand

grows or higher levels of availability are

required in your data center. Self-diagnostic

capabilities enhance the manageability of the

Symmetra PX 48kW and increase overall data

center reliability.

The Symmetra PX family serves as the core

power train that drives APC InfraStruXure®

systems for small, medium and large data

centers. Standardized, factory-assembled

modules mitigate the risk of human error

during installation or routine maintenance

procedures, and with no rear access required,

the Symmetra PX 48kW fits seamlessly onto

the data center floor, into the backroom, or

against any wall.

In one rack, the Symmetra PX 48kW delivers

the high availability, extreme agility, and low

TCO you have come to expect from the

Symmetra PX family.

Features & Benefits

1 Dual Mains Input/Output

1
Allows for top or bottom feed connection to 2 separate power inputs
for increased availability.
2 Modular power distribution
2 Adapt the configurable, modular power distribution solution to meet
changing demand—without a forced shutdown. Monitor breaker
positions and simplify power management with output metering and
branch current/circuit monitoring.
3
3 High Efficiency (95%) Power Module - down to 30% loading
Independently verified by TÜV, these high-efficiency double
conversion power modules reduce power & cooling costs, saving
you money, while delivering the optimal power protection your
4
data center deserves
4 LCD Display Interface
Offers a clear text-based overview of alarms, status data, and
system configuration options.
5 Main Intelligence Module and Redundant Intelligence Module
5 Back-up for the Main Intelligence Module guarantees the maximum
6 possible availability for your system.
6 Network Management Card
7
Provides UPS status and event notification. Two SmartSlot
positions support Dry Contact, Environmental Monitor, Building
Management System (Modbus/Jbus), and additional Network
Management Cards.
7 Built-in Static Bypass Switch
8 The hot-swappable Static Bypass Switch transfers the load to
utility power without interruption in case of heavy overload or faulty
conditions, and ensures that even in 125% overload conditions,
the data center remains operational.

8 Hot-Swappable Long-Life Battery Module

Connected in parallel for increased availability, these hot­
swappable battery modules feature advanced battery monitoring
and temperature-compensated battery charging that extends
battery life. The resulting 5-8yr expected life of the batteries
9 reduces the system’s lifetime costs (TCO), and hot swappability
lowers the cost of replacement and Mean Time To Repair
(MTTR). Additional battery frames can be added for longer run
times.
9 High Density Footprint
The all-in-one solution requires front-facing access only, which provides more flexibility on where you
place the space-saving UPS and enables the Symmetra PX 48kW to be put anywhere, even against
a wall – which leaves more room for IT equipment.

Extended Runtime (XR) Frames

To increase the number of minutes your load can
remain on battery, add optional Battery Extended
Runtime frames. A maximum of 4 battery frames can
be connected to the Symmetra PX 48, which enables
the UPS to supply power to a 48kW load for up to 102
minutes.

Power Distribution
When demand rises and expansion becomes
necessary, there is no need to schedule
downtime to add a breaker. Power
distribution modules plug into a touch-safe
backplane that shields users from dangerous
amperage. The power distribution system
simplifies power management by including
output metering, branch current/circuit
monitoring, and auto-detection by the
InfraStruXure suite of management options.
Multiple power ratings and power cord
lengths for low to high power guarantee
compatibility and convenient installation.

Management Cards
Two SmartSlot positions can be used to expand the monitoring
capabilities of the UPS with these APC management cards:
> Network Management Card: One Management Card is included with
the UPS; it enables you to monitor and control the UPS over the
network. Optionally, install a second Management Card for
redundancy.
> Dry Contact/Environmental Cards: Monitor the conditions of the UPS
and its environment using external devices such as sensors.
> Building Management System (Modbus/Jbus) Card: Enable a Building
Management System to monitor the UPS.
